Adams writes, in part: "<I>You are aware, Gentlemen, that the note having been drawn by a married woman, is merely void - That I could recover nothing on it from her, were I to pay it to you: and that I never received anything for it from you...I wish to have no question with you relating to it...</B></I>" That year, in a tight election which necessitated a decision from the House of Representatives, Adams was elected president. Silked on recto and verso, light folds, else very good. <I>Ex. Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
